I can't.  It's simply not true.  "Windows" isn't some single entity that's
slowly growing into Vista or whatever the next version will be.  Windows 95
was a quantum leap from Windows 3.1, and Windows XP was a quantum leap from
ME.  At both phase changes they didn't just remove bugs and introduce new
ones, they introduced entirely new operating systems and just ignored old
bugs.
